Cuentos
Cuento is a Spanish word meaning literally "story" or "tale". Cuento may specifically refer to folk tales, a category of folklore that includes stories passed down through oral tradition. The word cuento may also be used as a verb to say "tell", as if you are "telling" a story ("Cuento").
  
Some examples of a cuento is the story Jack and the Corn Stalk, Jack and Jill, Yankee Doodle Donkey, and sooo many more.

    Hi Aza,

    Thank you for the definition of the word "Cuento." What is it that you want your reader to know though? How is the word "Cuento" used throughout Ortiz-Cofer's essay?
